Selected participants


66 participants from 11 European countries got together in Constanța on Saturday, 27 October. Their mission was to improve the media literacy competences of young people and to issue a warning on the news that are invading the Internet. Thus, for one week participants Turkey Turkey, Bulgaria Bulgaria, Serbia Serbia, Germany Germany, Greece Greece, Lithuania Lithuania, Croatia Croatia, Macedonia North Macedonia, Romania Romania, Italy Italy and Slovakia Slovakia carried out indoor and outdoor activities with common objectives: to help youngsters to consume media wisely, analyze media messages, test reliability and develop critical thinking.

Teams from the 11 European countries (including Romania) prepared attractive scenarios and involved young people in international working groups. The activities were educational, entertaining and fun. Role‑playing games, images that convey messages, workshops for understanding how information is perceived by young people, but also sessions for analyzing how information is distributed in the online environment, were all appreciated by participants. One of the most attractive activities involved visiting the Old Center of Constanta. Once they arrived in the Casino area, divided into groups of 5-6 people, the youngsters were reporters for a day: they took interviews, they talked with the locals and they took photos of people and places.

The long-awaited intercultural evenings gave each team the opportunity to present their national culture, dances, costumes but also the traditional delicacies specially prepared for this occasion.

On Thursday evening, the young people celebrated Halloween together and on Friday they benefited from the presence of the professionals delegated by the Google Laboratories in Bucharest who organized a workshop dedicated to this event.

The activities took place at Dobrogea Hotel in Constanța between October 27 and November 3 and are organized by Team4Excellence within the Media4You project: https://trainingclub.eu/media4you/. The Media4You project is part of the Erasmus + program
